2 Open the SD card slot cover.
3 Insert the SD card straight, with the label facing the grip belt, all
the way into the SD card slot until it clicks ().
4 Close the SD card slot cover ().
• Do not force the cover closed if the SD card is not correctly inserted.
IMPORTANT
• Observe the following precautions while the SD card access indicator is
flashing. Failure to do so may result in permanent data loss.
- Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder.
- Do not remove the SD card.
• Turn off the camcorder before inserting or removing an SD card.
Inserting or removing the SD card with the camcorder on may result in
permanent data loss.
• SD cards have front and back sides that are not interchangeable.
Inserting an SD card facing the wrong direction can cause a
malfunction of the camcorder. Be sure to insert the SD card as
described in step 3.
NOTES
• To remove the SD card: Push the SD card once to release it. When
the SD card springs out, pull it all the way out.
• If you set the [J Other Functions] [Media Access LED] function to
[Off], the access indicators will not illuminate.
Initializing the Recording Media
The first time you use any recording media with this camcorder, initialize it
first. You can also initialize a recording media to permanently delete all the
data it contains.
When initializing an SD card, you can select quick initialization, which
clears the file allocation table but does not physically erase the stored
data, or complete initialization, which deletes all data completely.
1 Open the [Initialize Media] submenu.
[J Other Functions] [Initialize Media]
2 Select [CF A], [CF B] or [SD Card] and then press SET.
